Please try to fork that repo.  Git will take a long time to resolve
deltas.  This is due to Git not handling very well the one file appended
in every revision.  To fix it for all times this file needs to be split
up.  With that change in place the repo needs to be rewritten.

We have even one fork of this repo where blobs are missing.

For some requests the diff formatter blocks and runs into the one minute
hard timeout.  This should be fixed with the 11.3 release next week, so
we can ignore that.
